 Dear Patrick, 
  
 thanks for your bug report. You're not the only one bothered by this 
 change, the issue has also been reported as #1118361 [1].

 Unfortunately that's more of a divergence than we're willing to maintain in 
 Debian downstream as the already pretty thin stretched Qt/KDE Team. 
  
 So if the feature is that important to your workflow I would advise 
 engaging constructively with upstream around that workflow to find a better 
 way to bring back what you need. 
  
 Like you I don't like the decision since I was using the feature, but 
 unlike you I share the concerns raised by upstream about its previous 
 behaviour and think they would need to be addressed from a design 
 standpoint before moving forward. 
  
 I think nested session management is a pretty difficult topic, since 
 handling session management properly is already a topic of its own. And if 
 I were to dedicate resource on the topic I would prioritise ensuring the 
 best session management features are 
 enabled in all apps (think proper app state restore) and also in the 
 Wayland session before working on nested setups.

 Happy hacking,
